Door.      "  Who  is  there  ?  "  said  the  Kid,  peeping  through 
the   front   Parlor  Blinds.      "  Your   Cousin   from   Philadel-

visited   me  at   the   Centennial  ?     I   have   come   to  return

A  CAT  being  enamored  of  a  Man,  Jupiter,  in  answer 
to  her  Prayers,  turned  her  into  a  Woman,  whom 
he  caused  the  Man  to  espouse.  A  few  days  afterward, 
as  they  were  seated  at  Breakfast  in  their  Boarding-house, 
a  Mouse  happened  to  rui.  across  the  Floor,  when  the 
Bride,  forgetting  that  she  was  no  longer  a  Cat,  sprang 
upon  the  Vermin  and  greedily  devoured  it.  The  Mistress 
of  the  House,  observing  this,  upbraided  her  Guest,  but

THREE  blind  Mice,  whose  Tails 
had  unhappily  been  cut  off  with 
a  Carving  Knife  by  the  Farmer's  Wife, 
were,  upon  their  return  to  their  Com-

only  of  being  received  with  Ridicule  on 
account  of  their  Calamity,  but,  indeed,  of 
being  brought  to  Want.     At  this  crisis, 
it  occurred  to  them  to  represent  that  they 
had  lost  their  tails  in  War ;  they  did  so ; 
the  cry  of  "Bobtailed  Union  Mouse!  " 
was  raised,  and  the  political  effect  was  so 
great  that  these  Mice  were  provided  for 
life  with  fat  Berths  at  the  public  Cheese.

THE  Hare  once  challenged  the  Tortoise  to  a  Trial  of 
Speed.  The  Hare  frisked  about  merrily,  paying 
little  attention  to  his  Rival,  or  jeering  him  for  his  Slow- 
ness.  The  Tortoise,  however,  plodded  along  steadily  ana 
had  well-nigh  reached  the  Goal,  when  the  Hare  observed

€Jjc  for  anb  tlje  Croto, 

A  CROW,  having  secured  Ji  Piece  of  Cheese,  flew  with 
its  Prize  to  a  lofty  Tree,  and  was  preparing  to 
devour  the  Luscious  Morsel,  when  a  crafty  Fox,  halting 
at  the  foot  of  the  Tree,  began  to  cast  about  how  he 
might  obtain  it.  "  How  tasteful,"  he  cried,  in  well-feigned 
Ecstasy,  "  is  your  Dress ;  it  cannot  surely  be  that  your 
Musical  Education  has  been  neglected.  Will  you  not 
oblige-?"  "I  have  a  horrid  Cold,"  replied  the  Crow, 
"  and  never  sing  without  my  Music,  but  since  you  press 

me .     At  the  same  time,  I   should  add  that  I  have 

read  ^sop,  and  been  there  before."  So  saying,  she  de- 
posited the  Cheese  in  a  safe  Place  on  the  Limb  of  the 
Tree,  and  favored  him  with  a  Song.  "Thank  you," 
exclaimed  the  Fox,  and  trotted  away,  with  the  Remark 
that  Welsh  Rabbits  never  agreed  with  him,  and  were  far 
inferior  in  Quality  to  the  animate  Variety.

Catling  Battery  of  Morals.  We  are  taught  (i)  that  it 
Pays  to  take  the  Papers ;  (2)  that  Invitation  is  not  Always

AVILLAGKR  one  frosty  day  found  under  a  Hedge 
a  Snake  almost  dead  with  cold.  Moved  with  com-

the  Rheumatiz,  he  look  it  hon  and  placed  it  on  the 
Hearth,  where  it  shortly  began  to  wake  and  crawl.  Mean-

ment with  a  Man  'round  the  Corner,  the  Villager's  Son 
(who  had  not  drawn  a  sober  Breath  for  a  Week)  entered 
and,  beholding  tlie  Serpent  unfolding  its  plain,  unvarnished 
Tail,  with  the  cry,  "I've  got  'em  again!"  fled  to  the 
office  of  the  nearest  Justice  of  the  Peace,  swore  off  and 
became  an  Apostle  of  Temperance  at  $700  a  week.  The 
beneficent  Snake  next  bit  the  Villager's  Mother-in-law 
so  severely  that  Death  soon  ended  her  sufferings — and

"  Talking  of  newspapers,  the  Americans  who  have  been  over 
here  this  summer  all  fell  mc  that  the  New- York  journals  gener- 
ally have  not  been  doing  well,  with  the  single  exception  of  The 
World,  which  is  passing  all  competitors  in  influence,  and  most 
of  them  in  circulation.  Mr.  J.  G.  Bennett,  of  the  Herald,  told  a 
friend  of  mine  in  London  the  other  day  that  The  World  was 
now  by  far  the  best  paper  in  New- York.  The  World  is  now 
quoted  in  the  London  press  three  or  four  times  as  often  as  any 
other  American  paper,  and  is  much  read  by  members  of  Parlia- 
ment and  journalists.  1  asked  Mr.  Tilden  if  what  I  had  heard 
about  The  World  was  true,  and  he  said  it  was  all  true,  and 
more;  and  that  the  jicople  of  New- York  always  supported  a 
bright  and  vigorous  paper." 

\Louis  J.  Jennings's  London  Letter. 

Mr.  Jennings,  formerly  of  the  New-York  Times,  is  now  Lon- 
don correspondent  of  The  World. 

[Republican  Testimony.] 
"  The  World  is  one  of  the  best  of  the  great  New- York  dailies. 
In  politics  it  is  unfortunately  upon  the  "other  side,"  but  we  have 
no  hesitation  in  approving  the  course  which  it  has  pursued.  Its 
policy  is  liberal  and  comprehensive,  and  is  dictated  by  a  sincere 
regard  for  the  best  interests  of  the  country." 

[Mcriden  (Conn.)  Republican, 


[Democratic  Testimony.] 
"  Politically,  no  daily  received  at  this  office  suits  us  better  than 
The  New-York  World.  It  is  Democratic  to  the  core,  not 
Bourbonistic,  not  rabid,  not  vicious,  but  firm,  logical  and  polite. 
It  considers  the  highest  democracy  to  be  seeking  for  the  welfare 
of  the  people,  and  if  democrats  as  a  party  put  men  in  nomina- 
tion whom  it  cannot  trust,  it  has  the  courage  and  manliness  to 
say  so,  and  refuse  to  support  them.  Apart  from  the  vast  amount 
of  information,  domestic  and  foreign,  contained  in  its  columns, 
we  value  it  most  because  it  is  such  a  pattern  of  propriety  and 
gentlemanly  courtesy.  In  these  days,  when  a  portion  of  those 
who  conduct  papers  think  that  the  way  to  answer  the  arguments 
of  opponents  is  by  personal  and  scurrilous  assault,  this  trait  of 
The  World  is  peculiarly  refreshing."

Thk  World  believes  that  "man  the  hermit"  Is  not  to  be 
trusted  without  the  supervising  and  civilizing  influence  of 
woman,  .ind  it  therefore  holda  that  a  public  journal  which  fails 
to  attract  the  attention  and  iMilist  the  support  of  the  women  of 
the  community,  will  neither  guide  the  public  conscience  aright 
nor  give  wise  counsel  in  public  affairs. 

The  World  will  therefore  give  to  the  siibjec's  which,  as 
interesting  men  as  social  beings,  equiilly  interest  women,  tne 
same  degr;e  of  careful  consideration  which  it  gives  to  the  politi- 
cal and  commercial  interests  which  engage  the  attention  only  of 
men.  The  worlds  of  Society,  of  l.iTKRATUKr.  and  of  .\rt, 
it  deems  not  less  within  the  province  of  a  public  newspaper 
than  the  circles  of  politics  and  of  trade,  and  it  esteems  the 
topics  which  its  readers  discuss  at  their  homes,  at  least  as 
important  as  those  which  occupy  them  in  their  places  of  business.
